Easter weekend

Let me just start with a warning: there are A LOT of pictures on this post!! So unless your name is Gigi, Mimi, Pawpaw, G-dad or any other names that begin with "Great", "Aunt" or "Uncle"... you might get a little overwhelmed (bored) during this LONG post where I basically re-create every moment of our Easter weekend through pictures! If you ARE interested...enjoy!




Ever since RJ was born I have been TERRIBLE about taking pictures while we are out and about. When we are home the camera is nearby and I usually grab it when one of the kids is doing something cute. But before, when we were out...I was pushing a stroller (or wearing the baby bjorn), carrying a diaper bag, and trying to hold Caroline's hand so she didn't run off (or I was chasing her!). So I usually just left the camera at home. I even gave up (temporarily) on my favorite SLR camera because it was entirely too big to even attempt to bring along. But now, Caroline is a little older and indepenedent and RJ can ride in the stroller for longer periods of time without needing to be changed, fed, pacified, etc. So I made it my goal to take LOTS of pictures over the Easter weekend with my favorite camera!! It was a beautiful weekend and we had so much fun as a family!!




On Friday afternoon we had our friends over to dye eggs, decorate cupcakes and eat pizza!!











On Saturday morning we joined the squadron for a kids Easter egg hunt. Caroline LOVED it!!




The weather was beautiful! 49 degrees and sunny. So different than the Texas Easters I remember!!





Caroline jumping up and down!



And they're off!!!



She sat down at the first egg she found!!






Mommy and RJ cheering her on!!



RJ found one too!







The airplane basket



Hard to believe this was the best picture we could get of the two of them; we took around 20



A few that didn't make the cut...



Trying to get away





And a face plant!!!



Becky and RJ



Daddy and RJ



Another difficult picture to take!! The babies of the 36th Fighter Squadron!!





RJ had fun sitting next to Lydia. First he stole her bunny ears, then he hit her on the head with them!!!



Under the cherry blossoms


















Easter morning. The baskets












Caroline's favorite gift...a Tinkerbell toy cell phone!!!





At the Officer's Club for brunch after church






All of our friends' kids with the Korean Easter Bunny







Caroline in the flowers



These were monday morning. I was still on my picture taking high I guess :) Before school



With the phone of course...it was a struggle trying to convince Caroline she couldn't take it to school! In the end we agreed it would "wait for her" in her car seat :)



RJ practiced his golf swing while Caroline was gone for the morning




Or just tried to eat the golf ball!
